A Kenyan MP who is accused of forging his academic papers did not sit his final year exams at the secondary school he claims to have attended, an ex-teacher has told a court.
The MP, Oscar Sudi, had claimed that he sat the exams at Highway Secondary School in 2006.
But the school’s former principal said the index number Mr. Sudi claims to be his belonged to another student, adding the MP did not register nor sit the examination at the school.
The MP has been charged with forging a diploma certificate and a secondary school certificate.
Meanwhile, The US State Department says it has determined that Paul Rusesabagina, the subject of Oscar-nominated film Hotel Rwanda, was “wrongfully detained”.
A spokesman said yesterday that they the determination took into account the totality of the circumstances, notably the lack of fair trial guarantees during his trial.
Rusesabagina was sentenced to 25 years for terrorism by a Rwandan court last year in what supporters called a sham trial. END
